Card Rulings:Avida, Rebuilder of Worlds
OCG Rulings
- This card cannot be Special Summoned, except by the procedure written in its text. Even if it was sent to the GY after being Special Summoned from your hand this way, it cannot be Special Summoned by the effect of "Monster Reborn", etc.[1]
- This card's effect that prevents its Special Summon from being negated is not an Ignition, Trigger, Quick, or Continuous Effect.[1]
- This card's effect that shuffles all other monsters on the field, in the GY, and that are banished into the Deck is a Trigger Effect. (It does not target.)[1]
- When this effect resolves, any Fusion, Synchro, Xyz, and Link Monsters that would be shuffled into the Deck are returned to the Extra Deck instead.[1]
